Well, well, well...I have been busy. I managed to make it up to Berlin again and do some more filming. It was a good time in Berlin. I got a lot of good footage and met some more cool people. I managed to meet up with two friends I had made on my last trip and found a really awesome hole in the wall bar. Literally this place was the sketchiest most awesome place I've been to. You had to knock on this door that was under a bridge. It had no sign or anything that identified it. You only knew it was there if , well if you knew it was there. Then this guy slides open a little slate on the door and eyeballs you. Finally he opened the door, looked at my friend and I and asked "Just you two?" We looked around. "Yea" "Just you two?" again we look around. "Ummm...yea" "Ok! Come on in!" We enter, it turns into this really awesome pub. Low lights mirrored roof. Jazz band playing in the corner. Sehr schon!
As I left my artist to head back to Bonn, she also gave me a parting gift. A Minolta XG9! I was so stoked. I've always wanted a Minolta and I've really been wanting to shoot black and white again. An amazing gift, that was completely unexpected, but extremely appreciated.
So these past few weeks have been pretty much something like this: wake up, edit, remember to eat, edit, edit, edit, sleep, and repeat. Also the occasional helping someone out on their film. This film has been a pain. My hard drive has crashed twice. I lost everything I had been working on (luckily not any raw footage) and had to restart my entire project and re-edit in less then a week. Fun stuff.
Besides that I've been trying to hang out with my host family. Most of the other students edit at the AIB, but since I have a Mac and FCP I can just do it at home. So I haven't really seen most of them in weeks, which is really weird. However, I have gotten close to my host family. We also have a new member of the family! TK, one of the other film students, had difficulties with his original host family and moved into ours. It's been a lot of fun having him here, and we have become brother too.
We all have been going on small excursions together. We went ice skating and to a medieval theme Christmas Market. We've played board games, and just had a lot of fun together. By far the best part of this trip is my host family. They are amazing.
I did put together a short timelapse clip for my film. It actually didn't make it in the film, but hey you can look at it if you want:
